Question:

I am planning to put in an air circulation fan in my barn next spring. While I have some time to make plans this winter, what all things should I consider? Or, what are all the benefits to adding good air circulation in my barn?

Answer:

Why wait until the spring to gain benefits of air circulation? With the proper fans installed, barns and arenas can take advantage of good air circulation year-round by providing destratification in the winter and cooling in the summer.

Whether you are retrofitting your facility or building it new from the ground up, it’s important to consider your overall objectives as they relate to both animal and human comfort. Starting with your barn or arena’s basic design, dimensions, climate and functional purpose, a large diameter, low speed fan specialist can help you determine what size and type of fans you will need.

Before making the investment you should take into consideration noise level, effective air movement, safety, maintenance, operation costs and simplicity of use.
